Obituary.
JOHN RIsLEY.1

Among the many ills to which
human flesh is heir, there are few
exceptional ones, in pain they are
more intense, their complications
are more varied, and in their insid-
iousness they battle the skill of the
physician. And strange to say our
humanity can endure such severity
for months, and that too with a
fortitude which is the essence of
the truest heroism.
John Risley was one of those eX-
ceptional sufferers; probably for
three years past there was no
day that he was free from pain
save as he was relived by some an
aesthetic. He was born in Logan,
June 5, 1S49, and here most of his
life has been spent in the near pres
ence of parents and brothers and
sisters. Before he attained his
majority he responded to the
call of his country to enter her SER
vice as soldier, enlisting as a
member of the 10Th regiment Ohio
Volunteers.
Soon after his enlistment he was
detailed upon special duty at Jack
sonville, Fla, and while doing duty
in the neighborhood of that city
was captured and taken to that site
of hellish barbarities, Anderson
vile, in February 1865.
That name will be forever asso-
ciated with the most horrible in
humanity of man to man. Mr.. Ris-
ley was there confined until the
following April without shelter,
and with such food as for quality
and in quantity was calculated
rather to induce loathesome dis
cease, than to sustain his body, and
then discharged physically wreck
of his former self.
He attributed his peculiar aff1ic-
ton with it's intense suffering to
his terrible experience in that rebel
prison. His pains, and his groans
must intensity the remorse which
is the tormenting flame of the souls
who were privy to such barbarism.
He was honorably discharged from
the service of his country at Camp
Chase in the month of June 1865.
April s, 1869, he was married to
Miss Lizzie Drescher, and truly it
was precious gift he thus received
from God, of a wife who through all
his terrible sufferings was most de-
voted, and most wisely administer
ed to his comfort. She among us
to-day survives him as devoted a
mother as she has been a wife, and
the children have every cause to
rise up and call her blessed.
Throughout his sickness Mr.. Ris-
| ley was not lndlfferent TO that best
of hopes, trust in the Saviour in
whom he at one time made profess
sion of his faith. When he could
have any respite from pain he not
only appreciated but enjoyed prayer
and so far as twas possible for him
to do at lucid moments he exhibit
ed change of spirit as the end
drew on.
He died at the early dawn of the
morning Monday, June 20, 1887,
aged 3S years and Is days.

the fact that to-day the DEMOCRAT
has the largest local circulation of
any paper published in the County,

readers, that, "The DEMOCRAT is
the best and newsiest paper we

1t Is Time to Act.

The result in Texas admonishes
Tennesseans to action. While the
same causes are not ia active opera
ton here and there is not as much
active opposition by leading men,
yet it tells US that the fight is not
to be ours without great labor. We
consider the defeat of prohibition in
Texas the most deplorable event in
the history of this republic. If it
does not bring a blight and curse
upon that great state it will be won
derful. 1t must not be repeated in
Tennessee. The possibility of
such a dire calamity to our fair
state should nerve every man, wo-
man and child to redoubled effort.
The CITIZEN has from the first
favored the amendment but it
deemed moderation the better part
of valor in making the fight. In all
kindness and sincerity and for the
good of our wives and children, our
brothers and sons, our neighbors
and friends, we appeal to every
man in Giles who loves his people
his country and his honor to fall in
to line. There are many honorable
men who oppose it for this reason
and that, and it must be confessed
that some of them are strong ones
bat the saving of our sons from the
possibility of being drunkards ant
the rescue of some of our fellow
citizens from slavery to drink over.

and are enough to turn the scale IL

The dispairing cry of widows ant

that you may find the opposers ant

See every man in the district an,

Remember that; get every man t.

Give Them a Chance!

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger air-passages, but the thous-
ands of little tubes and cavities leading
from them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do, they cannot
do well.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumonia
catarrh, consumption or any of the
family of the throat and nose and head
and lung obscructions, all are bad. AL
ought to be got rid of. There is just
one sure way to get rid of them. The
is to take Boschee's German Syrup
which any druggist will sell you at II
cents bottle. Even if everything els,
has failed you, you may depend upol
this for certain. cow

derson. Her remains were taken to
Lincoln county for interment. She was
sister of the Rev. A. +. Lawrence. He
called her his good sister. She was
ready when the summons came, We
have heard her talk calmly and sweetly
of the time when she should depart to
the better land. She was lovely
christian woman; so charitable and
kind and remarkable for her sweet dis.
position. We sympathize with the be.

sadly, but they have the sweet consola.
ton that in the 'realms of endless
glory" she is happy forever. Blessed
